Terms used on this page

Dusthana / Trik houses: The 6th, 8th and 12th houses, linked with obstacles, loss and hidden matters.
House lord: The planet that rules the sign on a house. "Lord of the 9th" means the ruler of the sign falling in the 9th house.
Malefic: Naturally harsh planets: Sun, Mars, Saturn, Rahu, Ketu, a waning Moon, and Mercury joined by malefics.
Debilitation (Neecha): The sign opposite a planet's exaltation, where it is weakest, for example Sun in Libra or Jupiter in Capricorn.
Aspect (Drishti): A planet's glance on another house. Every planet aspects the 7th house from itself; Mars also the 4th and 8th, Jupiter the 5th and 9th, Saturn the 3rd and 10th.
Conjunction: Two or more planets in the same sign (and so the same house).
Navamsha (D9): The ninth-division chart. Each sign is split into nine parts of 3°20′; the Navamsha shows the deeper strength of each planet and is key for marriage.
